Product details

125 MHz MEMS XO with Standby — board-fit note

The DSC1505AI3A-125M0000T is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) delivering a 125 MHz LVCMOS output from a 1.8V supply rail. The MEMS resonator replaces the quartz blank, which means the oscillator is inherently more resistant to shock and vibration than a quartz crystal — useful in portable or industrial equipment where the board sees mechanical stress. The Standby (Power Down) function drops the supply current to 1 µA typ — the oscillator output goes high-impedance, and the core draws negligible current until the enable pin is pulled high again. This eliminates the need for a separate load switch or enable buffer on the clock rail.

Package and supply — 4-VDFN with exposed pad

Housed in a 4-VDFN Exposed Pad package measuring 7.00 mm x 5.00 mm x 0.90 mm. Supply voltage is 1.8V nominal, and the maximum supply current is 7.5 mA — well within the budget of a 1.8V rail shared with an FPGA bank or a PHY core supply.

Sourced through independent distribution; quoted to order against the BOM quantity.

Frequently asked questions

Can DSC1505AI3A replace a quartz oscillator at 125 MHz?

Yes — the MEMS resonator in the DSC1505AI3A is a drop-in functional replacement for a quartz-based XO at the same frequency, output type, and supply voltage. The MEMS version offers better shock and vibration tolerance and typically lower jitter over temperature, but the pinout and footprint (4-VDFN) must match the PCB layout.

What is the output type and voltage level of DSC1505AI3A-125M0000T?

The output is LVCMOS, and the supply voltage is 1.8V. The output swing is rail-to-rail, so it drives a 1.8V CMOS input directly without a level translator.
